A two-time All-American at Oklahoma State, Daniel Cormier competed on the world stage of amateur wrestling before pursuing a career in MMA. In 2007, Cormier earned the bronze medal in freestyle wrestling at the world championships.

Since making his debut in MMA, Cormier has gone undefeated in nine fights and earned an impressive knockout win over Antonio Silva in his most recent performance.

Later this year, Cormier will take on Josh Barnett in a fight that will determine the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix champion. If Cormier can beat Barnett, he will immediately become one of the top contenders for the UFC heavyweight title, as the Strikeforce heavyweight division is folding into the world's premier MMA organization.
